A Dutch singer was left in tears when a DJ pulled a prank that saw her surprised by a naked man while she was mid-performance.

DJ Frank Dane instigated the prank, which saw singer Maan de Steenwinkle ambushed by an enthusiastic streaker while performing live on Radio 538.

She screamed in shock then burst into tears when confronted by the naked man, while the presenter and studio audience laughed. But as they realised her reaction was one of real fear, they cut to a song by Rihanna while they comforted the young singer,

The 20-year-old said she’d been left ‘really scared’ and that it was a ‘really stupid prank’.

DJ Frank has since said: ‘You were shocked at the time, I can only say sorry to you. This was never the intention.

‘Apologies have been accepted. For me this chapter is now closed. It happened three weeks ago. ‘

Maan recently said in an interview: ‘I was already a bit nervous about this and I had my eyes closed. And suddenly there was a naked man in front of my face.’

She then realised there was ‘no kidding, no joke’.

Maan added she would never visit the radio station again.

Dane and his so-host Jelte van de Goot from De Frank and Vrijdag Show hired a streaker thinking it would be funny.

‘We thought we invented such a funny thing, this was never the intention.’

Maan drew support from other artists who called for a boycott of the station.

Singer Tim Knol said other artists should refuse to have their music promoted on the station.

‘I have been in the music industry for a long time and I take a lot of salt, but when I heard this excerpt I immediately became so angry,’ he said. ‘Her reaction went through me to the core. And really I love absurd humor, but this is in no way funny.’
